Interesting.... thanks! I’ve heard of 6 month smile before. What was horrible, if you don’t mind me asking?I had clear a brace - the treatment was called 6 month smiles. I think it cost £2000 and they stayed on for 5 months overall. Definitely worth it but horrible at the time!
Sorry I didn’t see this! It wasn’t that bad honestly, I’m just quite dramatic about things most people would see as a mild inconvenienceInteresting.... thanks! I’ve heard of 6 month smile before. What was horrible, if you don’t mind me asking?
Sorry I didn’t see this! It wasn’t that bad honestly, I’m just quite dramatic about things most people would see as a mild inconvenienceThe worst bits were I couldn’t bite properly with them on so some food was really hard to eat, couldn’t chew gum, sometimes I got ulcers and occasionally I’d have to go for an emergency appointment cos something had snapped (usually because I’d been eating something I shouldn’t!) . I’d do it again in a heartbeat though as the results were amazing
You take Invisalign out to eat, just have to clean your teeth afterwards!thank you! Yeah the eating thing is weird.. I can’t imagine eating with a cover over your teeth?!
I’ve booked an Invisalign consultation for the start of January so will be interesting to see what they say...
Wow... read the first 2 paragraphs and genuinely thought, are you me!?I’m doing Invisalign right now I figured I had the money (holiday money) and this is an ideal time and at least it’s something positive coming out of this shitty time
It’s mainly for the top front four teeth that are over lapping and wonky, they don’t look too bad face on it’s when I turn my head to the side
I had zoom calls with 2 orthodontist and went with the one nearest a private dentist that’s been around for years and the cost for both was pretty much the same £2850 for Invisalign
I had my scan appointment then a month later my first fitting and he gave me the following 6 pairs which takes me to my next appointment on the first Monday of January
I was surprised to find out that I change my aligners every week and when I asked how many I needed he said 12. I fully expected to be wearing braces till early summers but if I only need 12 I’ll be done mid Feb which would be great
To be honest they’re no bother, my tongue can’t stop fiddling with them so it get a bit sore and while I have no social life it’s easy to keep them in 22 hours a day , what I wasn’t expecting was the little blobs of hard stuff they but on certain teeth to make the braces work harder , they’re teeth coloured so aren’t that noticeable but I’ve avoided anything that may stain like red wine or curry just in case
I’m fine wearing them and talking to people while I’m out walking the dog but it’s also handy that I’m often talking to people wearing a mask as I feel i speak differently sometimes I think because you produce so much more saliva etc
Lol glad it was useful too be honest I might be being overly cautious with the blobs, and really if they went a bit yellow after a curry I could hide them with a maskWow... read the first 2 paragraphs and genuinely thought, are you me!?
Thanks so much, that was really useful. I’ve seen those little blobs they use but didn’t even think that they could easily stain! Makes sense... I just worry about the weekend evenings when me and my OH have a few drinks and ‘graze’ rather than eat a meal. Though this may actually help my diet though
If you don’t mind me asking, do you feel your teeth being pulled/pushed at all?
I have a consultation at the start of January and i’m pretty sure I want to go ahead with the treatment, obviously if the price is right!
